The Secret Model's Forbidden Lover

Chapter 4

I am wide awake.

I didn’t sleep the whole night. My eyes were glued to the ceiling, with a blank mind, until I felt a wave of heat illuminating the windows. And when I glanced at it, it was already morning. Its sunlight is reflecting on my face.

Where am I? Why am I naked? What is happening to me? Why is my body exhausted?

Those were my thoughts earlier until the man beside me wrapped his hands around my body. Its heated palm caresses my stomach. Is it giving me the tingles? Yes. But does it make me comfortable?

Absolutely not.

“Good morning.”

Ah, that same nettlesome voice that kept moaning my name last night. My jaw moved on its own, pretending I didn’t hear him. It’s lame, I know, but seeing him first thing in the morning makes my inside detonate to bits.

I wanted to vomit and could feel my hands shaking with uncontrollable anger. I knew I should get out of this place as soon as I woke up. However, I couldn’t because my body was not in sync with my mind.

“Melanie.”

I felt his hand gripping my jaw with ease, then slightly forced me to look at him in the eyes. I realized his chin was resting on my shoulder blades, giving me this daunting sleepy-eyed look.

“What are you thinking?”

Killing you.

I want to answer that, but he will use his weapon on me.

I didn’t answer him. Instead, I pushed him a little, causing him to back away, then rolled around, facing the other direction. His presence makes my stomach shiver. We’re not talking about how scared I am.

Please, just get out. I don’t have the strength to do so after what happened between us and my life.

I heard him sigh, and the bed moved. I closed my eyes, thinking he got the message about me not wanting him here. However, I was wrong. I shrieked when I felt something poking in between my ass cheeks.

That’s not all. A forceful hand made its way up to my chest and gripped my breast. I bit my lip and arched my back. I cursed in my mind. What is he doing?!

“I think you forgot our agreement, Melanie,” he growled against my ear.

I shook my head. “I don’t remember agreeing-”

“Shut up,” he said, then pinched my n****e, causing me to make obscene noise. I grumbled, blocking my mouth with my hand. No! Don’t moan, Melanie! Don’t give him satisfaction!

“Don’t play or act dumb, Melanie. You agreed to be my slave. You sold your soul to me. You know what will happen to you once you disobey me.”

My lips shiver upon hearing his severe threat. Something was blocking my throat when I glanced at him and saw how serious and cold-blooded his eyes were. He’s not kidding about making my life fall apart.

He caresses my jaw, giving me a daunting smile. I groaned when he rolled over until he was on top of me.

“You’ll be miserable once your secret is out. And you know that, right? You’re aware of your reputation here in this world. You’re aware many people look up to you as their inspiration. What do you think will happen once they find out what you hide behind that mask?”

His hands were on my neck, choking me while giving me an intimidating remark. I shook my head, biting my tongue. I didn’t say anything, but my eyes were enough to provide him with a hint that I would do as he pleased. Just please, he can not do what he is making me scared of.

A tear rolled down my cheeks, causing me to close my eyes. I repeatedly cursed in my head. It’s too late to wipe them off because he already saw it.

I sobbed with a broken heart. Everything felt overwhelming, like I was carrying a heavy object in my chest. After a minute of trying to calm myself, I felt his hand loosen around my neck.

I slowly opened my eyes to see what was going on, but he had already left my stomach. I watched him get out of bed, unclothed. His magnificent body was exposed, and when he glanced at me from the corner of his eye, I instantly looked away.

“I’m going to shower,” he mumbled and turned around.

After disappearing from my eyes, I can finally breathe. For a moment, I thought I saw something different in his eyes. But I shook the thought away. It’s impossible for him to feel any guilt after having s*x with me last night, which is against my will. I couldn’t do anything about it. He has something against me.

I sighed and then thought of getting up. When I tried standing up, I fell on the side of the bed. I looked down and saw my legs were wobbly. I cussed and was frustrated because I couldn’t walk.

“You can’t walk, huh?”

Before I could even process who it was, I felt a pair of hands cloak around my body, and before I knew it, someone was carrying me. Of course, it was no other than Myles. We’re the only ones here in my room.

“Please, let go of me-”

“Shut up. I know you need this.” he cut me off.

Something dropped on my breast, and I saw it was water. I slowly glanced up at him to see his hair was damp after coming out of the shower. His lower body is covered with a towel.

And since he’s wet, the side of my body got moist with his after shower. I sniffed and couldn’t deny that he smelled so good.

“I want to take a shower,” I mumbled.

I know he wouldn’t let go of me even if I said I could do it alone. It’s pointless to fight with him. So better yet, do what he wants while thinking of a way to get out of his cage.

Myles didn’t say anything, but I felt his grip tighten around my skin. He proceeded to walk inside my bathroom and close the door behind us. He slowly let go of me until I was standing right in front of him, fully exposed.

“Can you take a shower alone?” he asked.

I didn’t say anything. Instead, I take his hand then place it above my breast. I felt his hand stiffen a little, surprised by my sudden movement.

I can’t blame him. He knows how many times I refused him. I tried to escape last night, but he didn’t let me. Even how many times I wanted to free myself, there was no escape. He has a card that can destroy me anytime. Not just my reputation, but also my whole being.

So I changed my mind. Instead of trying to escape, I would play his own game.

Let’s see who will survive.

I shook my head, “I can’t. Can you please do it for me?” I asked gently, giving him an innocent stare.

Myles was speechless for a second, but I noticed his eyes turned dark. He moved his jaw and then raised his brow.

“What are you playing at, Melanie?”

My heart skipped a beat, but I didn’t waver. I let myself fall on my knees, pretending that my knees were weak. Myles eventually kneeled down to help me.

“I really can’t walk or stand. Can you please help me?”

I place my hand above him, that’s resting on my lap. Myles’ eyes squint when he looks up at me. I gave him a gentle heartwarming smile, encouraging him that I was not planning anything.

When I do.

“Please?”

Myles stared right through my soul for a minute before standing up with his hand guiding my side. However, his next move shocks me.

He pressed me against the wall and wrapped my legs around his torso. He opened the shower, and droplets of water made us both wet. His cold and ruthless eyes traveled down my body, making the demons in my stomach shiver.

“I don’t know if your eyes are lying, but I want to wreck you right here, right now.”

I gasped when he opened my mouth and slid his thumb inside. He sensually played with my tongue. Since the shower is on and some droplets are hitting my eyes, I close my eyes, letting him do what he wants with my mouth.

“You can’t fool me, Melanie. You don’t know who I am and what things I can do.”

He slid his thumb out and held my thighs. I felt his shaft poking at my entrance, teasing me to slide in. I was a mess under the shower and right in front of him. I felt his breath fondling my lips.

“Open your eyes, Melanie.”

It took me a while and some courage before I finally opened them. At the same time, I felt something push inside me.

“You belong to me. Remember that. You can only do the things that I tell you. I am your shadow, meaning….”

I moaned when he started to thrust, filling me in. I almost cried because I’m still sensitive down there. Myles has no control. He’s assertive, demanding, and controlling.

You can’t get out once you’re being preyed upon.

“I am there wherever you are.”

Instead of being threatened by his words, I smiled. I reached out to his cheeks, giving him the sluttiest stare I could manage. It’s sickening, but I have to bear it. Myles might be handsome and all…

But he is clearly not my ideal type of man.

His kind is the opposite of what I need.

“Believe me when I say I am not fooling you, Myles.”

I let my forehead rest against his, wrapping my arms around his neck to make him feel my chest. Myles didn’t say anything, but he continued to move inside me. I moaned his name.

“I’m being real.”

This year will be full of silent lies.
